Improves disaster recovery processes and offers an efficient CPU cycle optimization
Using BMC Data Management for IMS and DB2 on z/OS has greatly improved our database administration tasks. Although we don't test the database before production, we have experienced benefits in disaster recovery situations and capacity management. For instance, when facing capacity issues during peak transaction times, I've been able to quickly allocate additional resources to ensure smooth operations. This has been crucial, especially during times when the demand surges, such as peak flight hours.

Mediha Šiljić - PeerSpot reviewer
Built-in connectors offer extensive data source integration and time savings
Fivetran could improve by adapting more for technical users and by providing more options for such users. There should be more adaptability in terms of new features. If a specific feature is required, it should be integrated promptly. Improvement in existing connectors with new features is desirable. Enhancements around customer-focused product adaptation are also suggested.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"BMC Data Management improved our data recovery process by simplifying it."
"I have worked with DB2's great features in the last five years. The IDAA feature transformed the vision of warehousing, business analytics, and big data at my bank. Besides the mainframe, I saw that this solution was evolutionary. It gives real-time information."
"The most important feature of the solution is its ability to build data pipelines in less time."
"Fivetran's most valuable feature is replication."
"The most valuable feature of Fivetran is that it only synchronizes what needs to be synchronized."
"The product has some seamless connectors, which are readily available."
"The simplicity of the solution is its valuable feature."
"Fivetran offers native connectivity with Sybase"
"There's the general feature of the platform where it just makes it very easy to integrate different things, but I would say a specific difference is their integration of DBT,."
"The solution is stable. We've never faced any stability issues."
More Fivetran pros
 

Cons

"DB2 is a hard tool to grasp. It's hard for users to learn how to use it. It's not easy to see how it works."
"One area for improvement with this product could be in providing clearer guidance and tools for disaster recovery planning and execution."
"The customization could improve because Fivetran gives more thought to people who don't want to manage analytics workflows rather than engineers who want to be able to customize pipelines more thoroughly."
"The connections with SAP must be improved."
"We experience cost issues because Fivetran is charged on a usage basis. When you reach a certain level, the tool should focus on reducing the costs. The solution is expensive when you are moving gigabytes and petabytes of data. It should also focus more on REST APIs and webhooks."
"The environment must be more development-friendly."
"Fivetran should add more connectors because its competitors, like Airbyte, have more connectors."
"Fivetran would be improved by adding the ability to integrate the data from third-party APIs."
"This solution needs to improve its real-time data and transformation availability."
"An in-line data quality checking capability is missing"
More Fivetran cons
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"When you have a lot of workflows and complex use cases, pricing goes down as you use it more."
"I can't give exact amounts because that's based on usage, but it's more expensive than some of its competitors."
"I rate the pricing a six out of ten."
"Fivetran is very expensive, and its database-driven pricing model is outdated."
"The licensing costs are extremely high for the usage of somebody who has one GB or two GB of usage per day for real-time traffic. There are many other players in the market which are similarly priced or competitively priced. On average per month, it used to come around 12,000-15,000 USD, which is very high."
"The solution is affordable."
"I don't have the exact information, but I know it is high, and it is on a yearly basis. There is no additional cost for what we're doing. We're always open to doing things cheaper, so we might potentially implement a different solution."
"The product is reasonably expensive"
